Think Better 在线下载 pdf mobi 2025 epub 电子版

There are thousands of books about thinking. But there are very few books that provide clear how-to information that can actually help you think better.

Think Better is about Productive Thinking — why it’s important, how it works, and how to use it at work, at home, and at play. Productive Thinking is a game changer — a practical, easy-to-learn, repeatable process that helps people understand more clearly, think more creatively, and plan more effectively. It's based on the thinking strategies that people we celebrate for their creativity have been using for centuries. Tim Hurson brings Productive Thinking out of the closet and presents it in a way that makes it easy for anyone to grasp and use — so you can think better, work better, and do better in every aspect of your life.

Think Better demonstrates how you can start with an intractable technical problem, an unmet consumer need, or a gaping chasm in your business strategy and, by following a clearly defined, practical thinking process, arrive at a robust, innovative solution. Many companies use the Productive Thinking model to generate fresh solutions for tough business problems, and many individuals rely on it to solve pressing personal problems.

The principles you'll find in Think Better are straight-forward: separate your thinking into creative thinking and critical thinking; stay with the question; strive for the “third third” by generating lots and lots of ideas; and look for unexpected connections.

The model consists of six interlocking steps:

Step 1:What's Going On? Explore and truly understand the challenge.

Step 2: What's Success? Envision the ideal outcome and establish success criteria.

Step 3: What's the Question? Pinpoint the real problem or opportunity.

Step 4: Generate Answers List many possible solutions.

Step 5: Forge the Solution Decide which solution is best. Then make it better.

Step 6: Align Resources Create an action plan.

Tim Hurson starts by explaining how we all build inner barriers to effective thinking. He identifies our habits of thinking that severely limit our behavior, from “monkey mind” to “gator brain.” Then he demonstrates how to overcome these barriers.

More than anything, productive thinking is an attitude that will let you look at problems and convert them into opportunities. At the end of this disciplined brainstorming process, you'll have a concrete action plan, complete with timelines and deadlines.

The book is filled with many of Hurson's original brainstorming tools that will empower you to generate, organize, and process ideas. For example, you can identify your best ideas using the five C's: Cull, Cluster, Combine, Clarify and Choose. And you can transform an embryonic idea into a robust solution with POWER, which stands for Positives, Objections, What else?, Enhancements and Remedies.

To create the future, you first must be able to imagine it. Productive thinking is a way to help you do that.

  Converge thought by creative thinking and diverge it by critical thinking. Learning is far from thinking. Anyway, thinking always involves your ideas.

• 培养创造性思维！！！

  现代社会，特别是在党中央创建创新性社会号召下的中国社会，急需要，大批富有创造力精神的人。然而由于中国教育体制的弊端，我们培养的是一大批具有强烈固化思维的青年，正如书中所说的“模式化”。十几年模式化教育可以保护我们找到一份安逸的稳定的工作，却束缚住了我们思维的翅膀。作为一名大学生，看完这本书，有些振聋发聩的意味。我们的教育中太缺少关于思维方式的训练了。当然，这中训练也不能拿到现行的教育体制中去 ，否则培养出来的有是另一种模板的“模式化”青年。现在我正在读研，急需要 改变先前的固化思维，所以，这本书对于我来说恰如久旱逢甘霖，可喜可贺。

  全书系统介绍了创造性思维的背景、原则、理论、实践。非常喜欢PART1里关于三种大脑的阐述，这也是吸引我读下这本书的原因。

  猴子心性，是说大脑本能地逃避思考，例如走神。

  鳄鱼脑子，就如人的脑干，是出于本能的控制，是无意识的行为。而大脑外周（哺乳动物大脑）则是情感控制。大脑皮层则是高级思维。人在遇到一件事情的时候，第一反应由脑干做出，是无意识的行为，之后则是经过大脑外围，产生一些无意识的情感变化，比如我们不自觉的会对同类产生嫉妒、同情等等情感，最后则是大脑皮层，它最高级的控制，可以进行深入思考，但是它有是具有猴子心性的惰性。我们遇到的大多数时间，都是由脑干直接反应控制，没有经过大脑皮层。所以法国心理学家克罗·拉派尔说：“在决策的时候，胜出的总是爬行动物。”

  上述论断是不是非常的有趣？呵呵，非常有趣而又引人深思。

  好，就写这么多，后面的不展开说了，相信你读了就会有所收获。
